I am wondering if it's a word count issue. Are the blog entries you're trying to share over 1000 words?

Thanks,

Hi Sean,

The guidlines say the minimum is 1000 characters. Has that changed?

"Note that there is a minimum length of 1000 characters for blog entries"

Most my blog entries are 750 word or greater. I see the rss-feed, just no blog entries.

Kris.

My mistake. Can you show me an instance of how you're using the rel-tag?

Hi,

I posted a screen capture of an example of the rel-tag in my first post. You should see all the details there.

If there is more information, please let me know. I can dig it up for you!

Is the rel-tag within the body of the article itself? And is the actual content of the blog (the words, the code, etc.) within the feed itself?

On January, 28th 2022 I submitted my article "How to query a MySQL database in plain PHP" via an email to Submit@codeproject.com. I did not get any response. Is there a backlog in reviewing (PHP) articles or did I do something wrong?

I just want to know if it's possible to write an article both in English and Spanish. Do I need to create two different pages with their own titles? Is there any mechanism to switch the language?
Thanks

As much as we appreciate the thought (and because we are a predominantly English-speaking site), we ask that our articles be in English only.

Nice post

article writing/formatting: markdown for a collapsible section ?

Is there a way I can have sections in the article that can collapsed/expanded ? One-level (no nesting) deep is fine.

thanks, Bill

At this time we do not have this functionality, I'm afraid.

If you're editing the raw HTML, the <details> element[^] might work. (Assuming the editor doesn't remove it.) Smile | :)

HTML

<details>
<summary>A collapsible section</summary>
...
</details>

A collapsible section

I have an article draft and uploaded a zip file and inserted link to article.

In Preview on link click I get always:
No download file specified?

What can I do?

Unfortunately you won't be able to download the article in the preview, but once the article is live, you will.

Too many tags. There is a limit of 8.

Hello, I get the message "Too many tags. There is a limit of 8." when I'm trying to update some old articles. Could you please tell me why? Thank you!

Thanks very much for your message. Because we've changed the taxonomy on the site to being set by tags rather than by sections, we've tried to narrow the focus of the tags on each article. The message is meant to only allow article updates and new articles to have a maximum of eight tags. If you'd like help in narrowing the tags on your article please let me know and I'd be happy to help.

Thanks,

I've edited the tags. Basically I took out the tags that were either already covered, not as valuable in terms of users finding your article, and didn't quite apply. If you'd like a tag by tag breakdown, I'd be happy to discuss.
